Sy stem in Business.
Difference Between the Human Au-
tomaton and the Man Ready
for Emergencies.

System is o good servant, but a
poor master A man who has no
thought of system in his daily life is
likely to use his time and strength to
little advantage. But a man who
gives the chief place to system in his
daily life, is likely to limit his labors
to the routine demands of his system.
No man is of practical efficiency in life
who could not conform him self to a
system, if it were necessary. Nor is
any man of the highest practical effi-
cheney who will conform himself un
varyingly to a system. The man
who will rise at certain hour every
morning, and will retire at certain
hour every night, and will have his
meals at certain hours every day, and
will do all his work in a certain order
and in q certain way, is as valuable
as cuckoo-clock in calling the hours
for those who want to know and to
improve their passing time. But
such a man is worth little for an
emergency, and is quite incompetent
to meet the special and extra require
ment of such exceptional days as are
continually thrusting themselves into
every busy mans lifetime. The man
who always answers every letter as
soon as he receives it, and whose desk
is never out of order when he leaves 1t
at the close of the day, may be a mod
ell of perfectness as human automa-
ton; but lie isnot the man to do the
chief thing of Importance for the pres
ent hour, even at the cost OF letting
matters of minor Importance remain
! unattended to. 1t is better to do ones
duty ofthe moment, whatever else Is
left undone, than to have ones duty O
the moment decided for him by apre'
arranged programme, in spite ofprov
idential calls to other and nObler ser
vice.

Budding and Grating.

Next to planting young trees in the
spring, preparations ought to be made
for grating the natural apple trees and
other bearers of worthless fruit to he
found on almost every farm. The fol-
lowing schedule Of the modes OF propa-
CATION adapted to different trees and
fruit bearing shrubs will be found Of
value by novices
Apple and pear, budding and graft
ing.
Cherry, mostly by budding, but sue.
ceeds we'll by grating, if done very
early.
Peach and nectarine, by budding only
at the north; often succeeds by grating
at the south.
Plum, by grating, and also by bud
ding, if the stocks are thrifty.
Apricot, mostly by budding; some
times by grating.
Almond, by budding, and sometimes
by grating.
Chestnut, by early grating.
Walnut, by early grating and by an
nual grating.
Ounce, by eating and grating.
Filbert, by suckers and layers. The
finer sorts may be grated on the more
common, which reduces the size OF the
bush and makes them more prolific.
Grape, by layers and cuttings; and in
rare instances, grating is advantage
ously employed for new or rare sorts on
old or wild stocks, producing rapid
growth and early bearing.
Raspberry and blackberry, by suck
ers, cutting of roots and layers.
Gooseberry and currant, by cuttings
and sometimes by layers.
To insure good work one must have
sharp tools and good wax. Ben Perley
Poore, in "The American Cultlvator,"
who approves of the above schedule.
says to make the grating wax by heat
ing and mixing equal parts of resin,
tallow and yellow beeswax. A coat of
this wax, about One-twentieth of an
inch thick, spread oyer muslin. calico
or flexible paper, makes an excellent
covering for outdoor grating or spread
half as thick, is we'll adapted to root
grating

An Exchange Of Tresses.

A funny story is being told in which
two Russian noblemen and a fayorlte
Partisan actress played in the principal
pats. Both of the Russians were suit
ors for the lady's hand, and both SEEM
ed to be equally esteemed by her. 1t
appears that in Russia, as we'll as in
many other countries, a lock of hair is
considered a signal pledge of tender
passion, but few of the French divini-
ties are endowed with profuse cheve-
lures; and, if they were, the incessant
demand would soon exhaust the supply.
Mile. Alice glories in the possession of
suburn ringlets, and wouldn't par:
with one of them for less than duchy.
Her Russian admirers, the Count de
L. and the Baron de M both
happened to have hair of the same gold
en- hue as that of their mutual dulcinea.
Each begged a tress of her hair in ex-
change for lock of his own to which
the charming creature reaiily.assented,
and, without touching single turf of
her head, cunningly managed to effect
an exchange of parcels by which each
gentleman received a curl OF his rivals
capillaries. The Count now wears the
Baron's hair next his heart, and the
Baron sleeps with the Counts scalplock
under his pillow.-PariS Paper.

IN A DUTCH PRISON.
The Penitentiary Rather an Embel-
ishment than a Disagreement.

A prison in Holland is rather an en-
belishment than Disagreement to a
town, at least such is the fine new pen
itentiary at Leeuwarden, one of the
most famous prisons IN Holland, and a
model OF its kind. 1t is completely
built Of stone, brick, ard iron, conse-
quently tlre-proof; staircaseS, halls, aud
workshops are built with mathematical
precision aud in such manner as to
permit of constant surveillance. The
yards are large and spacious, all the
rooms whitewashed from top to bot
tom and we'll ventilated, the inner and
outer walls even bearing witness TO the
proverbial Dutch cleanliness. The
steps and passages are equally clean,
and you would look in vain for soiled
spot or grain of dust. Not cracked
or tarnished pane of glass can be found
in the whole building. Everything is
washed, brushed, and waxed with a
care we might we'll envy in many of
our American homes.
The dormitories are regularly scrub
bed every day and we'll ventilated.
Their aspect is, however curious. Each
consists Of large, ,whltewashed asphalt
floored room, in the centre of which is
an immense iron-trellised cage, armed
on the inside with spikes. This cage is
divided into oyer 100 cells, each sepa-
rated by sheet-iron walls ). each has its
bed, consisting of thin mattress, a
pillow, pair of sheets of coarse tex
ture, and two coverlets. Each night
the prisoners are locked in these narrow
cells, and thus repose perfectly isolated
from each other. All around the dor
mitory run iron water-pipes, with taps
fixed at intervals, at which the con-
victs are supposed to perform their alb
solutions. Water is general through
out the whole prison, and is TO be met
with on each story. Baths, which the
prisoners are compelled to make use of
at stated times, are on the ground floor.
The prisoner has three meals per day.
In the morning luke-warm milk and
water and piece of dried bread; at
mi6day,a "a soup composed OF vegetables;
in the evening, coffee and brown bread.
Sometimes they are allowed a small
quantity of meat but more often bacon.
The prisoners, however, can improve
upon this food by the money they earn.
They have, in fact, small interest IN
their work, four-siXths of which is at
their disposal, the balance being very
properly capitalized and handed to
them on their dismissal. Everything
is conducted with military discipline
in a Dutch prison, which allows neither
of ill-will or question. The dungeons,
a KIND of subterranean cells are for
the unruly, and arms for the mutinous.
No conversation is allowed between the
prisoners during hours of work. Per-
feet order prevails, as rule, and at
tempts at escape are events unknown.

SOMETHING MISSING.
Unfavorable Conditions Under
Which n Young Couple Began
Housekeeping.

Mr.. Youngman married very pret
ty and sweet little lady recently, and he
furnished a house to establish her In as
soon as the nuptials were completed
He was congratulating himself on hav-
ing bought everything that would be
needed in the proper running of we'll
organized househ DID, and was not lit
tie surpr ised on the second morning
after the wedding by his wife handing
him a card on which was written list
of articles which she requested him tc
bring home when he came from work.
The list ran as follows
Stove polish.
Hard soap.
Oatmeal.
Curtain fixtures.
Picture hooks and cords.
Coal sieve.
Rolling pin.
Dust pan.
Broom.
Stove brush.
Paper eight-ouncc tacks.
Mr.. Youngman reads over the list
and tries to remember that he bought
all these things when he furnished the
house, but he can't.
Hadn't you better go down with me
and order them yourself, darling p he
says.
NO, no, DEAR she replies. You
can get them well enough
But l might not get just what you
want, he suggests.
oh, you goose she says smilingIy,
throwing her arms around his neck
and dropping kiss on his lips, you
know I'd be satisfied with any thing
you buy me-
Il wouldn't be single again for any
thing unused Mr.. Youngman, as he
tripped lightly down stairs.
That noon Mr. Youngman brought
home the desired articles and laid them
on the table, Mrs. Youngman looked
oyer the articles and said
oh, Will, what did you get this
kind of stove polish for ? 1t isn't half
as good as the other, and this soap. why,
my mother would never have that
brand of soap in the house. How
much'd you pay for this oatmeal p
Twenty five cents
Twenty five cents Why, you can
get splendid oatmeal for fifteen cents a
package
Those curtain fixtures are an incl
too wide for the windows 1 wonder
you didn't know that
'Oh, you got green picture cord,
didn't you ? Well. won't use 1t.
always want red picture cord.'
That coal sieve is too coarse. It'll
let half the good coal through it. Why
didn't you think Of that p
That rolling pin is altogether too
heavy. l wanted light one.'
Il was in hopes that you'd get a
bronze dust pan, instead of this yellow
one.'
That broom is too heavy, A lighter
one would have done just as well, ant
1t wouldn't have cost so much.'
The Dristles in that stove brush are
too stiff. l wanted a softer one.'
oh, Will, why didn't you get gal
vanized tacks these iron ones rust on
so quick. They amt good at all.
Mr.. Youngman waits until his young
wife gets through, and wondering wha
has brought such a change over her
since morning puts his arms around
her and says
'What is the matter with my littl,
wife p
Her dainty head falls on his shoulder
and between the sobs that shake be-
slight frame, she says:
'Wi.Will. L feel so b.a-a.d. l wan
ted to make some bi.blscuit this noon
a-a-and got the wa.wawater IA and
sa.a-alt and ye-ye-yeast, but there's
something mi-mi-missiug and 1 cam
think wha-wbat it is.'
Mr.. Youngman smiled quietly, ant
clasping his young wife to his watch

whispered flour

DEATH In THE FIRE.
OHIO INSANE ASYLUM BODIES
RECOVERED.
Panic at the Patients Ball-A Building Crowded
With Three Hundred and Fifty Unbr-
iVlateS-Tsrrbls Scsas In
the Planes.

CLEVELAND, October 12-The horrors
of fierce fire, in the smoke and confusion
Of which stalked the presence of grim
death in his most terrible form, visited the
great insane asylum on the southern limits
Of the city, for the second time tonight
The Northern Ohio insane asylum with its
handsome massive buildings, and its
queer benighted people is always a place
of awe inspiring interest, but tonight the
scenes about it and within its walls would
have baffied the genius Of Dore. 1t was
the occasion of the weekly dance, given
the more manageable of the patients
as healthy means of recreation. About
three hundred and fifty of them in
charge of their attendants, were enjoying
the diversion thus afforded them, when the
cry of fire arose and flames and smoke
poured in upon them with bewilderiDg
suddenness. A stampede was the result
and the attendants had scarcely time TO re-
alize the situation when the room
was filled with leaping fire and
dense smoke. As soon as the first
excitement had abated the attendants made
courageous rush into the suffocating
smoke and rescued all that could be OF the
unfortunates who had been overcome. The
bodies Of six insane women who had met
death by ssphyxia and burning were re-
covered and three more were found in an
injured condition.

FLINT GLASS WORKERS.
The Executive Committee to Hold n Meet

The Executive Committee to Hold u Meet
iug-The Wage Question.
PIrTsBURG, October l2.-The Executive
Committee of the American Flint Glass
Workers Association will hold an impOr'
tant meeting tomorrow. 1t Is called to
consider the wage question, as the outcome
of the disagreement between the manutac'
turers and workers committee yesterday
There is 10 immediate prospect of q
strike, and there is an understanding
between the manufacturers and workmen
that. in the event of disagreement, each
side is required to give thirty days notice
before the factories are closed or a strike
inaugurated.
A gentleman connected with one Of the
flint glass houses on the South Side said
this morning: "We have not received no.
tice that the workmen will begin strike,
so it is pretty certain, even should the
committee not effect an amiCablc settle.
ment, that the factories will not be closed
within another month. The real cause OF
the trouble was produced by the manufae-
turers demanding that the gathering boys
work by the piece, and the workmen insist
ing that they be ,mployed on turn work.
Neither could agree, and the outcome ID
involved in doubt
A meeting is being held to-day by the
American Association OF Flint and Lime
Glass Manufacturers, at the AstOr House
in New York.
As anticipated yesterday the window
glass factories are starting up to-day. By
10 morrow it is expected that the resump,
tion will be general.
